If you have a standard Android installation on your Gemini, then you will benefit from over-the-air Android updates.
However if you used the [http://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool.html Gemini Partition Tool] to create a custom Gemini partition table, for example to obtain a custom multi -boot Linux/Android installation or a rooted Android, then you will have to update Android manually.
This section will guide you through the process of manually update Android on a Gemini.
For this process you will need 2 things:
* the updated Android firmware (Base firmware)* the unique custom scatter file created for your Geminiby the Gemini Partition Tool.
Let's start by downloading the updated Android Base firmware. To do that, simply visit the [http://support.planetcom.co.uk/partitionTool.html Gemini Partition Tool ] page, select your Gemini version (Gemini x27, x25 or WIFI only) and click on the '''Download Base Firmware ''' button. Make sure you select the right firmware for your Gemini.<span style="color: #252525; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 15.008px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;">If you are not sure about your Gemini version, just check under Settings -> Wireless & networks. If you see a menu called SIM cards, then you have an x27 Gemini, otherwise you have an x25 Gemini.</span>
